PARRUPU THOGAIYAL

  This thogaiyal is my favourite one and i love to have this with hot plain rice or for Vathakuzhambu sadam.

INGREDIENTS:

TOOR DAL	1/2 CUP
PEPPER	1/4 TSP
REDCHILLIES	2 NO
COCONUT SCARPPED	2 TBLSP
SALT	AS NEEDED
ASAFOETIDA	A PINCH
OIL	FEW DROPS
GARLIC	1 POD(OPTIONAL)

METHOD:

• In a kadai, add few drops of oil and throw in the toor dal,rechillies, pepper and asfoetida.
• Saute well, and take care not to get it burnt.
• when it is done, soak this in a cup of water for 1/2 an hour.

• After 1/2 an hour ,drain the water and transfer it to the mixie jar.
• Add coconut and salt to it and grind it into a smooth paste,by adding very little water to it.
• If ur adding garlic , add it while grinding.
• It tastes yummy with Rasam sadam too.
